Breathable mattress for bassinet

In early 2001, our premature twins arrived into the world. A boy and a girl, and after three tumultuous months of hospital care, we were finally home. Happy, on the one hand, but worried and anxious, on the other. Our most precious treasures were now safe. Would be?

Our boys needed proper care, so we started reading lots of articles about premature babies and consulting lots of experts on the subject. Over time, we came across some complicated situations that made us realize we needed a different mattress solution than what we had.

One winter day, when we put our little girl to bed with a protective nylon net between the mattress and the sheet and then the blanket on top, we noticed that she often woke up in the morning, reluctant to eat and quite apathetic. We went to our pediatrician for an evaluation, and he told us that we were creating a greenhouse effect on his bed with this combination of nylon and blanket, causing his body to overheat for many hours at a time at night.

Our son, who had been diagnosed with developmental delay at an early stage, was recommended by doctors to spend as much time as possible lying on his stomach under our supervision.

Over the course of one night, he learned to fend for himself and found himself having severe breathing difficulties, his face in a puddle of mucus. Watching this episode, we were so worried that we decided to definitely find a different mattress solution for our kids.

This is how the Numu mattress was born.

The real breathable mattress.
